Duvet covers are jacquard. Jacquard is not only a separate type of fabric, but also a special way of weaving threads used in weaving. The jacquard blanket does not break and practically does not tear. A regular bike is painted entirely, and a jacquard is woven from pre-dyed threads. Thanks to this production method, the canvas will have a double-sided pattern.

Manufacturing process

Bike production is carried out in several stages:

  1. With the help of automated machines, cotton is cleaned and twisted into a thread.
  2. Special machines wind the resulting base onto large reels.
  3. If required, the thread is dyed in the required colors.
